A simple trip along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey is one of the fragments of the famous "Lycian trail". We do not climb high into the mountains, we go literally along the coast, most of the parking in bays near the beach. In addition to landscapes and bathing, there are still the ruins of the ancient Lycian city of Olympos and the fire-breathing cliffs of the Chimera. The route will be quite possible for children from 7 years old who have at least a minimum experience of hikes.
The bays of the Lycian shore, in honor of which this route is named, is not only very picturesque, they are also remarkably unpopulated (relatively to the Crimea) and well equipped for cultural rest. In many bays there is a tap with fresh water and sometimes a fresh shower with a toilet.

СInca sanctuary is an overview route to the main sights of Peru: the ancient ruins of the Inca empire (including the famous Machu Picchu), the beautiful colonial cities (Lima and Cusco), the Amazon jungles, the floating islands of Lake Titicaca, and a 4-day hike in the Cordillera Blanca mountains track Santa Cruz). The program is rich, but relatively uncomplicated and comfortable: in the excursion part of the tour we live in decent hostels and hotels, we go by custom transport, we do not carry heavy backpacks in the hike (we hire mules with drivers).

Climbing Kazbek, Georgia

To understand the peculiarities of the ascent to Kazbek, it would be logical to compare it with the ascent to Elbrus. On the one hand, Kazbek is simpler, there are no volcanic gases in the atmosphere and it's much easier to breathe. The same miner usually starts here only at an altitude of 4800 m - on Elbrus she can easily "attack" another 3600 (even with the correct acclimatization schedule). At Kazbek, the assault camp is much closer to the summit, on the day of the ascent it will be necessary to climb only 700 meters (from 4300 to 5033 m). For comparison, storming Mount Elbrus from the North, it is necessary to fly up to 1900 meters per day (from 3740 to 5621). But on the other hand, on Kazbek, the road to the summit passes through a much more rugged terrain - there is a very steep slope with a huge number of cracks. Therefore, almost all the time we will move around in bundles. We must not forget about rockfalls ... In general, it will be fun - join :)

This was our second trek of Montenegro. Thanks to the last time the exploration, we managed to avoid many of the difficulties and save a lot of time, which was immediately used to explore new parts of the route, and even new countries. As a result, we've been not only in the mountains of Montenegro, but also crossed the border well walked on the wild corners of Albania, ride a raft in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and at the end of the day looked Croatia (Dubrovnik looked). And most importantly, the group met a very friendly and positive - with a company of any route blooming with new colors.

Meeting with members of the group, with OUTDOORUKRAINE - it's always a surprise! And it was enjoyable! I will not describe organizational issues, they are quite detailed and in fact what is happening reliably described by the operator. I can only say that everything is organized at a high level. Everyone works so smoothly that not only does not cause any problems, but also problems.
What a trek to choose? - Total cost and complexity
Written by Кирилл Ясько
To select a foreign campaign, in addition to their own aesthetic preferences should take into account two important factors - the complexity of the route and the total cost of the event. The complexity of the route affected - the duration of the campaign, the nature of the relief, the quality of trails, altitude, weather conditions, the weight of the backpack (create zabroski), the availability of technical areas. The total travel cost is the cost of the tour, tickets and local spending. And I must say, the results of the addition are impressive :) Tsiferki (ie prices) can be easily boiled down to a table comparing the costs (see below), but the particular routes, determining their complexity, it was necessary to describe the words (more below). I sincerely hope that you are not afraid of difficulties, and this text will help you better prepare for them and more consciously choose a hike (and not bring the idea to hide under the bed and nowhere to go).
